Innocence.

 

We never knew where we were going

As if there was no end in sight;

Accepted every day the challenge

And what we did was always right.

 

We never thought about tomorrow,

We thought to day was all we had,

That we could garner good sensations

And make a treasure of the bad.

 

We didn’t know that we were growing,

That the mystique will soon gone;

That there were shadows round the corners,

That in the fray we’ll soon be thrown.

 

We didn’t know where we were threading,

With every stroke,with all the pain,

We took it alla as it all happened

And never asked where was the gain.

 

It was the time when we were angels

When it was heaven, joy intense;

It was the time when were singing

The happy song of innocence.
